Om śrī mahā śivaliṅgāya namaḥ 
Om tryambakaṃ yajāmahe sugandhiṃ puṣṭivardhanam urvārukamiva bandhanān mṛtyormukṣīya māmṛtāt

We offer our worship to the fragrant three-eyed Lord Śiva who confers ever increasing prosperity. Please liberate us from the hands of death as effortlessly as an urvāruka fruit (watermelon) is separated from the vine; please do not let us turn away from the deathless (i.e., scriptural study with a traditional teacher for gaining the knowledge “I am timelessness”).

17 Svasti Mantraaha

An offering to Ganesha who blesses and removes all obstacles towards Absolute Happiness, to my revered teachers who are the embodiment of truth, to Durga who grants strenght and courage again and again. And to Rama, he who revels and helps to cross the ocean of samsara, the life of becoming.

Shree Gurubhyo NamaH HariH Om
To my teacher

These are 10 sacred Vedic Peace Mantras also known as ShAnti PAthAH. 

Each Upanishad has a ShAnti PAthaH which is recited at the beginning of our studies of the Upanishad. 

They invoke the right attitude of the student to be in harmony with Ishvara, guru & shAstra. 
May there be harmony between the teacher and the student. 
May we listen with Pramana Buddhi, the understanding & trust that Veda is a means of knowledge to know myself as whole and complete here and now. 
Each mantras has a beautiful meaning, of which you can find more information on www.vaidika.org. 

You can also listen to those mantras as a meditation and to invoke the guidance, blessing to find a teacher, to find harmony in life with myself, the world & god.

Ten Sacred Vedic Peace Mantras

5_Ten Sacred Vedic Peace Mantras

Gurustotram rendered by Swami Vagishananda Saraswati and Sharada Devi
In offering to their teacher Swami Dayananda Saraswati. 
Guru Stotram has 14 verses that praise the greatness of the guru who imparts self knowledge; Vedanta.

Vedanta is the end portion of the Vedas that teaches Brahma Vidya, the knowledge of the limitless being, which is, according to the Upanishads, the Self.

Vedanta reveals that the nature of I is free from any limitation, it is one, non-dual being. The general understanding of the I is ‘I am limited’ time-wise, space-wise and knowledge-wise. It is because of this conclusion that I am struggling to become happy. This is what is referred to as ‘Samsara’.

In order to get out of that endless cycle of birth and death, I need to know my essential nature as free from death, free from change, free from any limitation whatsoever.

Vedanta says,
You are the whole, you are full and complete as you are.
You are everything you want to be already.
You are the gold in and through all the ornaments.
All you need is to know, to remove the darkness of ignorance, to know yourself as such.

That is Freedom, that is Moksha. That is what ultimately every being is searching for in life, freedom from pain and suffering, freedom from the sense of smallness and inadequacy.

We all want to be happy, at all times and in all places.

We cannot find that in the world, the world is changing, that is the wonder of this creation, of this life.

Therefore I have to look somewhere else. Somewhere I have not yet thought of so far, somewhere closer than the closest.

Myself. That is Vedanta.

Swami Vagishananda Saraswati is a rare and special teacher, totally dedicated to understanding reality and the vedic/yogic teachings since the age of 19 (over 40 years!). Not only does he understand with full clarity the vision of vedanta – the answer to the question “Who am I” and “what brings total happiness and freedom from suffering to a human being?”, he also knows how to convey this truth to his students. He is a master of Vedic chanting and a sanskrit scholar.

He’s been through five 3,5 year courses with his teacher Śri Pujya Swāmi Dayānanda Saraswati. Swamiji teaches with incredible passion and humour, bringing the Vedic teachings alive and into our hearts in a very unique and beautiful way. From Swamiji we get the connection to tradition, as it has been passed down from teacher to student for thousands of years, and a richer sense of what yoga is really about. Satsangs with Swamiji are a rare treat indeed, combining Vedanta with emotional growth and psychology to help us navigate the mind towards objectivity and clarity.

Sharada Devi's spiritual journey started 16 years ago with the love for Yoga, Ayurveda followed by an Indian Classical Dance called Odissi. 10 years ago she finally met her revered teacher, Swami Vagishananda. Since then she has been a devoted student who has wholeheartedly embraced the Vedantic teachings & Sacred disciplines like Vedic Chanting, Sanskrit & Puja. Her devotion shines through in all her offerings. She has the blessing to study as well with Pujya Swamiji and his seniro disciple Shree Radhaji, Vedantin & Jungian Psychology Therapist. Her teachers have blessed her to pass on the Vedic Vision. Today she co teaches at Yoga Teacher Trainings and holds yearly Vedanta Retreats. Her love for the sacred feminine has birthed a beautiful initiative called the Be Woman Project. Its vision is to reestablish the bond between women and help them rediscover the value of being a woman and having a sisterhood.

Guru Stotram by Swami Vagishananda Saraswati and Sharada Devi

Lalita Devi
She who is the most beautiful one. She is who is the sacred play. Lalita is the Goddess of sacred beauty & eroticism. She is graceful, deep, natural, amorous, gentle, sweet & kind. Sacred beauty in the Vedic Vision is self acceptance. What is most attractive is one who accepts herself. She who does not reject anything or runs after anything. She is free to enjoy pleasure yet not to the degree to lose herself. She can stay with pleasure. She can stay with pain. Going pain, is growing pain. Pleasure comes and goes, yet she is not taken away by it. She can be with it, fully & gratefully.
She is also known as Tripura Sundari. The most beautiful goddess of the 3 worlds (the walking, dream and deep sleep state).
